1. Since it is an autoimmune condition causing blistering on skin and mucous membrane, thus treatment of choice is/are steroids,but to achieve a response it has to be taken in proper dose while also considering the adverse effects with regular follow up.

2. it is important to see a qualified dermatologist, while Ayurveda drugs can be started as adjuvant to steroids to minimize the side effects and help increasing Immunity by use of Rasayana Drugs [Immunomodulators]

3. regarding recovery: a study concluded that "Remissions were found to be much more common" thus one cannot say how much percentage/chances are there. you may consult a Qualified Allopathy/Ayurveda Physician for hospitals in and around your locality.
